The journey, which lasted several hours, still caused Bai Li to fall asleep in Tan Yi's arms.
The car was parked in front of a hotel, where the agent was waiting at the entrance.
"Brother Tan."
The agent stepped forward and helped carry the things the conversation had brought.
"You'll have a tight schedule for the next few days, so I'll have to trouble you."
Tan Yi, with her captivating eyes, smiled at her agent: "Don't worry, I've seen the schedule. You've been following me around, so you must be tired."
Upon hearing this, the agent felt both heartache and affection towards Tan Yi.
He's been talking to Tan Yi for so long, and he only likes talking to Tan Yi? He's someone who never causes trouble, works hard, and has a good temper.
Those in management are blinded by greed. No matter how good an artist is, they see them as nothing more than a pawn. And Tan Yi? This pawn is on the verge of being discarded.
"Keep your voice down, Lili is asleep, let him sleep a little longer," Tan Yi whispered to her agent.
"good."
The agent was worried about the pressure of negotiating deals, so having a cat for company was a way to relieve the stress.
This cat is just too small; it still looks like a kitten. I don't know if it will be easy to raise.
After swiping the room card, we were about to talk when a sleepy meow rang out first.
"Third Brother."
"Third Brother is here."
Tan Yi lowered her head and gently rubbed the kitten's head: "I... wanted you to sleep a little longer."
Bai Li shook her head, clearing her dazed state.
"I've had enough sleep."
They had been traveling for a long time, and by this time it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Tan Yi finished preparing the cat litter and everything. Seeing that his manager wasn't in the room, he turned to look at his younger brother, meowed, and also turned into a blue and white cat.
"Meow."
Little brother, come here.
The blue and white cat pounced on the kitten, which was several sizes smaller than itself, and started licking the kitten's fur after knocking it down.
"Meow!"
Do not lick its fur.
Bai Li kicked wildly, not wanting her third brother to lick her fur wet.
The room was covered with a thick carpet, and the two cats, one running and the other chasing, darted around the room.
After running around for who knows how long, the snow-white kitten still couldn't escape its older brother's clutches and was held down and had its fur licked to check its health.
"Meow."
Very healthy. The big cat contentedly nudged its limp little brother with its paw.
The two cats played in the room for a while longer when the agent knocked on the door.
Tan Yi immediately changed his mind, got dressed, and walked to the door.
"I just went and bought some food, all local specialties, you should try them."
The agent knew he had been traveling for a long time and was probably hungry, so he prepared some food for him.
Tan Yi took the food and placed it on the table.
"Lili, come and eat."
While the person and the cat were eating, the agent was talking to Tan Yi on the side.
"There's a promotional event here at 7:30 PM. You need to be there."
"The event ended at 10:00 PM. Someone invited you to have a late-night snack after 10:00 PM, but I already declined on your behalf. I told them you haven't been feeling well lately."
"Also, your cameo role has an early morning scene to shoot at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"A scene with the film crew in the morning, and a local conversation/interview in the afternoon."
"The interview is over. You must attend the Starlight Gala. There are many important people at this gala, Brother Tan. You need to be careful."
The agent went over the schedule for the talks with him again.
While eating, they listened to the agent explain the schedule.
"I know everything."
He said casually, "We can leave after we finish eating."
"OK."
The agent received the message and got up to leave.
After he left, only Tan Yi and Bai Li remained in the room.
"Meow."
Third Brother.
Bai Li looked at her third brother, Miao Miao, with concern and said, "You have so much work to do."
Just hearing it makes me feel tired.
Tan Yi smiled and fed Bai Li a piece of meat: "There's no way around it, the pay is high in this line of work."
"How tall is it?" Bai Li asked curiously.
Thinking of her younger brother's meager salary, she seized the opportunity to say, "It's ten times more than yours every month, Lili, why don't you stay at home—"
"don't want."
Before Tan Yi could finish speaking, Bai Li interrupted him.
When it comes to quitting her job, there's absolutely no room for discussion with Bai Li.
He likes making money and likes using the money he earns to buy gifts for Mr. [Name].
Besides buying gifts, Bai Li also solemnly entrusted Tan Yi with all her salary money, asking him to keep it safe.
Unable to persuade her hardworking and ambitious younger brother, Tan Yi sighed softly.
What should I do if my younger brother is too sensible?
He clearly only wanted his younger brother to be a lazy, good-for-nothing cat at home.
After dinner, Tan Yi didn't let Bai Li go out with him.
"Lili, you can play in your room. Third Brother will take you with you tomorrow."
"Tan Yi?" He put Bai Li on the bed, stroked his head, and spoke to him.
He just took a car here today; he doesn't want to trouble his younger brother.
Bai Li blinked and nodded obediently.
Not long after.
Before she could even finish talking, Bai Li immediately made a video call with Xie Chen.
The call connected, and Xie Chen's face appeared on the screen.
When Bai Li saw the handsome gentleman, she excitedly stretched out her paw, wanting to touch him.
Of course, I couldn't touch it.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li chatted with Xie Chen: "What are you doing?"
Xie Chen waved the book beside him in the camera's view: "Reading?"
Bai Li offered a compliment: "Reading? Good, that shows you're cultured."
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen noticed that there was only his cat on his side, and frowned: "Lili, where's Tan Yi?"
"Third Brother has gone to take care of something."
Bai Li honestly replied, "He has a lot of work."
Bai Li happened to remember the schedule her agent had just mentioned, so she repeated it to Xie Zhong.
Xie Chen made a note of it without showing any emotion, and then focused on chatting with the little kitten.
Time passed little by little.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Bai Li reflexively thought it was her third brother returning, but just as she was about to open the door, Xie Chen suddenly stopped her.
"etc."
Xie Chen narrowed his cold eyes slightly: "Lili, if he were your third brother, he would call you that."
Outside the door, there was only the sound of the doorbell ringing; there was no sound of anyone speaking.
Xie Chen's intuition told him that this was not a conversation.
Bai Li's beautiful amber eyes were filled with confusion. He tilted his head and asked, puzzled, "Sir, what should I do now?"
"Do nothing."
Xie Chen wouldn't allow him to open the door to a stranger so easily.
Perhaps seeing that the door wouldn't open, there was finally some noise outside.
"Brother Tan, it's me, Liu Yi. Could you please open the door?"
Liu Yi.
Upon hearing the name, Bai Li searched her memory.
A moment later.
The kitten, with its poor memory, actually remembered this person.
"Meow meow".
Sir, this person is trying to stage an accident!
Bai Li's impression of Liu Yi was that this person had tried to extort money from Mr. [Name].
Xie Chen's heart sank slightly when he heard it was him: "Lili, don't open the door for him."
This person, using the name "Xiao Tanyi", has been riding on Tanyi's popularity since their debut. Not only that, they are also skilled at all kinds of tricks, such as comparison marketing, creating CP rumors, etc.
They play dirty tricks, and the sugar daddies behind them keep changing.
In short, he's not someone to be trifled with.
Now that he's come knocking on my door, it can't be anything good.
Bai Li obediently ran from the door to the bed, ignoring Liu Yi's knocking, and focused her gaze on Xie Chen, continuing to chat with her favorite man.
While the two were chatting, Bai Li could also see the little cat on Xie Chen's profile picture.
He couldn't resist and poked the kitten with his paw.
"Sir, are you having trouble sleeping tonight?"
After poking the little kitten, Bai Li looked at the time on her phone and asked Xie Chen with some concern.
Xie Chen suffered from insomnia.
Not only was he not sleepy at all, but his emotions also seemed to be showing signs of spiraling out of control again.
Just now, he took the medicine he hadn't taken in a long time.
Faced with the kitten's question, Xie Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, and his handsome face showed only the gentleness that the kitten was used to seeing.
"No insomnia."
He coaxed the kitten, who wouldn't know the truth anyway, "I'm going to sleep in a bit."
Bai Li seemed to believe it but not quite.
"Then, sir, if you have trouble sleeping, listen to our cat song."
When Xie Chen recorded his song last time, Bai Li also recorded a cat song.
He knew that Xie Shen had saved the Cat Song on his phone.
"good."
Xie Chen agreed, "I'll listen to cat songs to fall asleep in a bit."
They were chatting warmly in the bedroom, while outside the door, Liu Yi's face, which bore a resemblance to Tan Yi's, was cold.
He had received word that Tan Yi had arrived, but why wouldn't he be allowed to enter? He opened the door.
Liu Yi bit her lower lip hard and banged on the door again, unwilling to give up.
Still no movement.
When he knocked on the door, the clothes on his wrist slipped slightly, revealing large bruises on his exposed skin.
These marks were all made by someone.
He'd been through a lot these past few days, and his body was almost giving out. Originally, he planned to use this opportunity to stay in the room for a while, and then, after coming out, he'd faint and be discharged from the hospital, deliberately exposing some of the marks on his body…
That way, he can use Tan Yi's influence to climb the trending searches again. And, he can thoroughly crush Tan Yi! Once he establishes himself as someone who was allegedly bullied by Tan Yi through unspoken rules, his future status can be boosted if he manages things well.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Liu Yi couldn't wait any longer.
He reached out and pressed down the hat he had been wearing when he came.
"never mind."
He comforted himself: "Talking about it? It'll take several days this time..."
He will have another chance.
Even without him, Tan Yi wouldn't have had a good time these past few days.
He was just here to meddle.
After leaving Tan Yi's place, Liu Yi immediately had someone prepare a detailed itinerary for him.
It's 10 o'clock.
In the room, Xie Chen looked at the little kitten on the screen, its head nodding off, and knew he was very sleepy: "Lili, close your eyes and go to sleep."
Bai Li shook her head, and mumbled in a daze, "I still want to see you, sir."
This night of separation wasn't just difficult for Xie Chen; it was something more than just him.
Xie Chen frowned.
"Sweetie, close your eyes and call me when you wake up."
Bai Li was soothed by Xie Chen's gentle and pleasant voice that she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her head lolled to the side, and she fell asleep without even hanging up the video call.
Xie Chen listened to the even snoring of his dog and didn't hang up the phone for a long time. He only hung up after Tan Yi returned.
“Lili”.
Tan Yi's face still showed signs of fatigue; he was quite tired today too. After calling out as he entered the room and finding Bai Li asleep, he immediately softened his footsteps.
She carefully took a shower, went to bed, transformed back into her original form as a big cat, and fell asleep next to her beloved little brother.
The night was quiet.
Inside the villa, Xie Chen still couldn't sleep despite taking his medication.
He leaned against the headboard and played Bai Li's cat song.
Under the loop of the cat song, my clear mind suddenly showed signs of crumbling.
"Meow, meow meow meow, meow awooo."
The crisp meows fell on my ears, one after another, each sound a gentle lull to sleep.
Before Xie Chen's consciousness drifted into a dream, his finger seemed to slide across the screen.
This swipe allowed him to directly share the cat song to a small group of a few people.
The small group was created by Lin Chao, and General Manager Zhu is also in it. They've been chatting a lot lately, so they decided to use a group chat.
When Xie Chen sent in the audio, Lin Chao, a night owl, clicked on it without thinking.
"Meow, meow meow."
[Pfft.]
[Mr. Xie, what's going on?]
[Slip of the hand?]
Lin Chao asked a few questions in the group chat, and when Xie Chen didn't reply, he pretty much understood what was going on.
Xie Chen must have shared this quite casually.
He laughed heartily and posted a message on his WeChat Moments late at night.
[If you're feeling lonely, like this post and I'll send you a cat audio I just heard [heart]. Sweetness, please [rose]]
This post is absolutely outrageous.
Bai Liu, who had just come out of the lab, saw this post and, without thinking, liked it.
After I liked the post, an audio message from Lin Chao popped up in his chat window.
Bai Liu: "..."
I don't really want to listen to this? What kind of random audio sharing is this?
